I think the answer is to have all of the gadgets and screen/window layouts in preferences. Let me decide where I want the gadgets to be. There could be certain rules like, if I have one scrolling gadget, it has two arrows. If I have one front/back gadget it is a toggle. It is even possible to allow the user to design the gadget that performs the particular operation. It is possible to do that with the shape of the pointer now. Why not use that editing facility (or IconEd) to create the graphic that seems most appropriate. The contact points could be relocatable as the pointer is now. Surely the code in place now is not so inflexible that it could not be generalized to accept all of the parameters for actions of the gadgets as simple rectangles located somewhere in the screen/window rectangle! -- ----- gregg.g.wonderly@att.com (AT&T bell laboratories)
